Caring and Understanding Lawyer that Can Get Rid of Pressler and Pressler

Marc Capone was an outstanding lawyer to use for bankruptcy in order to get back on my feet. I felt guilty about financial mistakes I made in the past and had judgements and medical bills. Marc answered all of my questions and my follow up questions were answered quickly by Tiffany. The whole staff i...s very friendly and thorough. When we went to bankruptcy court in Trenton, there were several cases with other lawyers that did not go so smoothly (missing paperwork, incorrectly filed documents, etc...). My case with Marc went very smoothly and was a great guide. Marc Capone is highly recommended.

Excellent lawyer and team, highly recommend

It goes without saying that the prospect of filing for bankruptcy is one of the most stressful situations one can ever experience. When I sat down for my initial consultation with Marc Capone, my mind was filled with worry, questions, angst, and self-doubt. Marc took the time to answer all of my ques...tions in the most pragmatic and honest manner possible. He listened, took copious notes, and immediately made me feel at ease and understand what the next steps would be. After the consultation, I knew that Capone & Keefe would be the best choice to represent me through this difficult process. Since retaining the services of Capone & Keefe, I have had nothing but positive experiences with the firm. Every time I've had a letter from the courts pertaining to my filing waiting in my mailbox, I've received prompt and clear answers to address my questions and concerns regarding the legal jargon contained in the communication. Angela Tavares, another member of the Capone & Keefe team, has consistently been available to answer any questions that arise and provide helpful and courteous assistance that always makes me feel like I'm the most important client at the firm! She is friendly, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond (which is so important when undertaking such a stressful process). Angela is simply outstanding at what she does! Between Marc and Angela, no question has gone unanswered and no concern has been ignored. If I reach out to Angela via email on a random Tuesday morning with a question, I usually have an informative answer waiting for me that same day. If a question requires a very detailed response, Marc sends an email that explains things in terms that I can understand. And while the stigma attached to law firms is one of being cold and impersonal, I've never had that feeling with Capone & Keefe. In fact, it's quite the opposite feeling. I would never wish bankruptcy on anyone. But sometimes difficult times can force your hand. I can't recommend the team at Capone & Keefe enough. One year into my bankruptcy, I am so glad that I chose this firm to represent me in my filing. In the fifteen months since retaining Capone & Keefe, I have yet to have one moment that I doubted or regretted this decision (and this decision is one you deal with on a day basis, from housing and job situations, to car payments). Thank you, Marc and Angela. I can only hope that someone in the position that I was in a year ago, overcome with debt, worry and stress, will make the same decision that I did. If you retain the team at Capone & Keefe, you will not be disappointed. They are the best, and I'm so grateful to have them on my side!

Thank you Marc!

I was very pleased with the service Marc provided. Marc and the office staff made me feel very comfortable in my unpleasant situation. He explained the bankruptcy process and options and took care of everything in a very timely manner. They kept me well informed and answered any questions I had imm...ediately. I would highly recommend their services. Thank you!

Something Very Special about These Folks

OK. So I have learned in 68 years on this Earth that not all lawyers are created equal. But with Marc and his folks, the concept takes new meaning. There are ball players and then there is Babe Ruth. Capone is Ruthian in his, and his staff's, performance. No fooling. I am not sure where Marc found... his crew but somebody taught him that the right voice on that phone goes a long way to setting the tone of professionalism. It also sets the mind of the caller at ease. You immediately get the impression that these folks will not drop you on your head or misplace your file. Thankfully, my experience has proven that first impression is true. After years of bankruptcy help I can tell you these people are for real. Put your trust in their skills and their bedside manner with the trustee and judge, cooperate with them as needed, and you will weather the storm that so typifies what all too many good people have to endure these days. I was referred to Marc by one of the top attorneys around. I now know why. Thanks, Marc. Hope everybody gets this message of unqualified praise. I don't usually get a chance to so portray a relationship, but am happy to do so on your behalf.

Best Bankruptcy Lawyear.

While considering filing bankruptcy, did some on line search and came upon Capone & Keefe Law Firm. I made an appointment to meet up with Marc Capone the following week. Mr. Capone was very professional and considerate of my situation and walked me thru the entire process and explaining the ‘’pros &... cons’ of different types of bankruptcy. Once I decided to go thru with Chapter 13 bankruptcy, Mark and his entire staff took care of me in every steps of the way,from filling to meeting with the Trustee and followed by court appearance.. Mr.Capone’s calming & very reassuring personality is something one needs when going thru a life changing & very stressful decision to file bankruptcy. I’m very pleased with the services I got from this law firm and would recommend to anyone who is thinking of filling bankruptcy.
